a couple of days ago, finished reading "The path of the loser" of Bukowski and could not help comparing it to an author I read a couple of months, although it might sound strange to some it is Jaime Bayly, when I read "I did not tell anyone. "
course I am not a literary critic not pretend to be, it is but this article I write I do as a personal exercise, if someone out there will find it interesting that I write in good time.

Now if I was saying, Bukowski said it reminded me of Bayly or vice versa, since both use the display as a literary technique, resource or whatever, the thing is that the two passages used expose their lives and adding some fiction to feed the curiosity of the reader.
recently in an interview that makes the newspaper Peru 21 to Bayly about his book "The lame and crazy ", when asked how close the worlds of misery that describes Bukowski?, he responds that" Bukowski is still one of my literary heroes ... Bukowski was a daze for me taught me the dirtiest things could (should) be counted, and that is precisely what the two, exposing all of his "shit" so perhaps to get rid of those demons that lead each.
Apart as the two are antagonistic characters: One alcoholic, the other cocaine addict, one from a poor family and the other from a wealthy family, one male and whoring, the other bisexual and sometimes can not get excited in front of women.
Reading the two novels I read every author recounts the beginning of its history, its course and took the path of the bearing, as if trying to explain to all why the way they are and they do not deserve judged by anyone because they are products of their experiences, their obsessions and their follies.
Both are fun, easy to read, too funny and grotesque, one could say about strolling players in literature, a "spoiled" by the pen, this point, not to be the great writer of the century but if the writer is going to sell fast his next book because they feed the curiosity of people, because they are a vedettes moving your hips to where their lives are, and disseminate the best way we know it, through a book, including it in fiction, not doing a biography that would be boring but fun and entertaining novel delivered in parts, a little in this book, a little bit in the other, so that readers continue to buy, that is what this type of novel of "literary exhibitionism."
Read them and draw their own conclusions.
This is my humble opinion.
